For checking disk space consumption I always use:

 Hi Gustav --

Yes, it's looking weird.
I have cleaned-up system disk and I have 69GB now, I have checked Win10 says it has 2+GB of updates - it doesn't look concerning of my recent system disk clean-up.

My system SSD in 3-4 years old - could it be getting out of order? But I must note I always tried to not use it - it was left only for MS Windows system needs.
And I have good anti-virus software NOD32 - worked well all the time. I doubt the issue is concerned from any kind of virus.

Still I suppose there should be something like 60-80GB of the system HDD "eaten by something" during last week.
Is there any good utility which can be used to check the system disk to find out what folders are consuming most of the disk space?

Thank you.

-- Shamil
